GDT 10/24/23 Arizona Diamondbacks (Pfaadt) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R)

[Docs]

They consider putting a relief pitcher in in the second but not a pinch hitter in the fourth with bases loaded. I don’t get it.

[Brashin]

I mean Casty swinging at Casty things, and Rojas...well when bases are juiced I'd rather just have him lean into a pitch then watch him swing the bat...WTH did he just swing at, ball was in a diff zipcode and he swung

[Aquapong]

Is the drop off defensively from Rojas to Pache that much that we keep watching him k?

[Patchmk88]

I can’t get mad about Rojas. We know he’s overmatched at this point, but Nick is a veteran and currently couldn’t hit a ball with a 10 foot bat right now.

[Lucky_Beagle]

agree to sending stott ... thought running on outfield arms was part of the olan

[Patchmk88]

Also we need a new figure base coach next year.

Emmanuel Rivera

Called strike (77.4 mph curveball)
In play, no out (80.3 mph changeup)

Emmanuel Rivera singles on a ground ball to center fielder Johan Rojas.

[Lucky_Beagle]

Think there was even a thought of starting Cave in right

[Aquapong]

Yes he’s overmatched. Playing Pache would give us a guy that might get a hit. Ridiculous of Rob to refuse to sit him or move the lineup around.

[Docs]

Right, we could sit Casty and start cave in right - better defense and better offense

[EDmuch]

Waltham has got to know that after Realmuto, they had two dead outs coming up.

Geraldo Perdomo

Mound Visit.
Foul bunt (91.8 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Geraldo Perdomo out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher Ranger Suarez to first baseman Bryce Harper. Emmanuel Rivera to 2nd.

[Lucky_Beagle]

I am ok with Rojas, if he would take pitches. He has to know he is currently a horrible bat so why swing at every pitch.

[kikutaro]

Ketel Marte

Ball in dirt (82.9 mph changeup)
Ball (94.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (80.1 mph changeup)
Foul (90.7 mph cutter)
Swinging strike (blocked) (78.1 mph curveball)

Ketel Marte strikes out swinging.

[zambonir]

they would have hit Cave and Lovullo would have put in Mantiply

[kikutaro]

Corbin Carroll

Foul (93.8 mph sinker)
Ball in dirt (80.1 mph changeup)
Ball (92.7 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (93.4 mph sinker)

Corbin Carroll singles on a ground ball to center fielder Johan Rojas. Emmanuel Rivera scores.

I'm surprised they didn't get Soto for that.

Brandon Marsh has been on base 11 times this series and has scored zero runs. That's both hard to do and extremely detrimental to the cause

Then we'd have Marsh, Cave and Schwarber all lined up for their lefties .
